Hi i do not mind if it is done on the ctrl-c or the ctrl-v side, maybe the second option would be more tricky to programm, isn't it!in the first option, after the first click the data is in one defined place (the clipboard) with the second option the data would be in the receiving programm...

Tip for some other functions:1. When you have copied a file/files, running the app will paste only the filename/filenames (with full path)2. Make possible to run the app => Removes formatting, pastes the text and exits. => You could place a shortcut to the app on your desktop and assign it a hotkey: CTRL-ALT-V for instance.

The hints are stolen from a RemoveClipboardformatting app that I does not remember where I got:-(

I have two slight modification ideas: - change the three hotkeys to "tap Ctrl, then Ctrl+V [or C or X]" (with the current shortcut, the slight pause when normally pasting throws me off)- (less important) a few toggle-able string processing commands (like collapse multiple newlines to just one, delete beginning and trailing newline(s), or maybe just user-customizable regexp capability)

You might want to look at mouser's Clipboard Help and Spell because it can accept user-defined filters, so you can roll your own. Or try Clippy, dedicated clipboard modifier, which offers these features:
